Eggshell

An otherworldly crack in the earth and something needful on the other side, a group of spiritualists. Not as subtle as I'd have liked, and with an ending that feels a bit much.

The Third Apocalypse

Travelling back in time to seed a preformed Earth with materials that will extend its life by hundreds of millions of years. A surprisingly good story with surprisingly good characterizations.

Way Back Machine

A button dilemma with Mythos trimmings. Awkwardly written and unengaging, to say nothing of the typographical errors.

The Button

A world overrun by demons, and an animated gargoyle protector. Not quite to my taste.

Red Sky in the Morning

"It's eating," Thibaut says. "They live on looking." It feels good to tell her things she does not know. "You can catch them and make them fat if you show them bright colors. Then we roast them." The meat was greasy with everything they'd seen.

"You know who it was said the simplest act of Surrealism is to fire randomly into a crowd?" He did, and they liked that.

'You get scared, Shivers?'
A pause, that eye of his glinting as the sun peeped through the branches. 'Used to. All the time.'
'What changed?'
'Got my eye burned out o' my head.'
So much for calming small talk. 'Reckon that could change your outlook.'
'Halves it.'

The Entity. Doctor Who as through the lens of the mythos. A very peculiar flavour, and a very strange ending. Good.

The Myth of Proof. A celebrity atheist offering $1m for proof of God is just a lure for DG. Good.

A Question of Memory. A story I'd read before of a prisoner repeatedly being treated with a memory erasing drug during an extended interrogation. Good.

Iden-Inshi. A bioengineer is kidnapper by Koreans and forced to clone their leader. Deep One DNA is used. It goes predictably unwell. Great!

Specimens. A private genetics research company gets its hands on some very exotic samples. Very good.

Homeopathy. A man undergoes an experimental counseling for traumatic memories. The treatment involves exposure to The King in Yellow. Good, but with an unsubtle ending.

Strange Bedfellows
Set during WWII, a tempting offer of an alliance with the Deep Ones is made on their behalf by an American soldier to British Navel officers. Okay.

The Grey People. A bronze age tale of a tribe's dealings with the 'Grey People' who mark a primitive sort of Innsmouth. Okay.
